Microsoft Purview And Azure Data Governance

Overview

Use this skill when Microsoft Purview is the governance control plane for Azure data platforms. It helps agents design metadata collections, classification strategy, scan scope, lineage expectations, and governed publish behavior across Microsoft analytics surfaces.

When to Use

• designing Purview collection and ownership structure
• defining scans, classifications, glossary, and lineage expectations
• governing datasets across ADLS, Synapse, Data Factory, Azure Databricks, or Fabric
• improving trusted discovery and certification for shared data products
• aligning Azure-native governance with privacy, security, and release controls

Do not assume Purview is only a catalog tool. It often becomes the platform evidence and policy surface for governed analytics.
